The Archaeological Museum in Silistra is housed in a building constructed between 1923 and 1924 as a branch of the Romanian National Bank in the town. The exhibitions cover an area of 400 sq m and feature artefacts from the prehistoric, ancient and medieval period.
Among the most valuable exhibits are the Roman stone sundial (the most impressive one ever discovered in the Bulgarian lands), a gold ring from the 3rd century, a column with the name of Khan Omurtag, seals of Bulgarian and Byzantine rulers, golden jewels from the time of the Drastar fortress and others.
